Updated | By Breakfast with Martin Bester
Billionaire Kim Kardashian lost over 7kgs to fit into the legendary dress that was owned by Marilyn Monroe.
For the 2022 Met Gala, Kim Kardashian paid homage to one of the most iconic moments in American pop culture history when she donned the same dress Marilyn Monroe famously wore to sing 'Happy Birthday' to President John F. Kennedy in 1962.

Kardashian was not allowed to do any alterations on the dress and had to lose weight to fit into the dress.
Kardashian told Vogue that she went on an extreme diet for three weeks to fit into the dress.

"I would wear a sauna suit twice a day, run on the treadmill, completely cut out all sugar and all carbs, and just eat the cleanest veggies and protein. I didn't starve myself, but I was so strict," she said.
